NJT MCI #7503 (and questions about the 7501-3 batch) |
|
|
Posted by AMoreira81 on Fri Feb 8 08:39:41 2008  Curious: Is this bus a 102DW3SS instead of a D4000 only because of the logo on the front, or are there rivets on the roofline (instead of welds)? I don't see any in my picture, and I looked to TTMG and didn't see any there either. Also, has NJT been the sole operator of bus 7503? |

Kinda hard to tell by the picture, but IIRC, the three demo buses were 7501-7503 and one was 40' X 102"; the other was 45' X 102" and the third was 40' X 96". Forgot which was which... |

All D series are 102" wide.No they are not. 11 D4000s that are 96" wide have been built, 3 for New Jersey Transit (one is shown below; 7803-7805) and 8 for Pace (6900-6907).   |
